Managing Family Finances Pillows

"I'm spending too much money on food. But what can I do? The kids won't eat anything else."

'Change is inevitable, espeically when you have a newborn in diapers."

"Sorry, stock-market jitters."

"Dad, this is Wendy, she's going to re-negotiate my allowance!"

"I'm an expert in crisis management, I've got three daughters!"

"I'm afraid your allowance didn't survive the latest round of budget cuts."

'Apparently, there's some sort of language barrier for me when money talks.'

"Now, Mr. Lindsay. About this non-profit organization you head."

'I'm about to say my prayers, Dad. Do you want more pocket money too?'

'That was supposed to be your stock without equals, and it looks like you were right--no equals, just lots of superiors.'

'You must know my kids...they spend like there's no tomorrow.'

"My client, whom I shall refer to as your son, has retained me to represent him in these negotiations regarding an increase in his allowance!"

'Any annuity we can afford wouldn't pay the MILK BILL!'

'It's our 10 year plan.'

'I will make an appointment to visit with a financial planner, dear--right after I get done taking down the Christmas lights.'

"We put you through day-care. You're on your own now."

"I raised three kids, so you could say I was in risk management."

'We don't have the money for everyone to go, and, well, our luggage has never been to the Bahamas before...'

"Papi, do we have enough net financial assets to meet essential living expenses for nine months if our source of income disappears?"

'Not a good time to ask for more allowance. They're discussing the national debt.'

"No matter what one says, a safe remains a good way to keep your money safe."

"Yes, we have three children. Their names are time guzzler, career killer, and cost factor."

'Sorry kids, we've had to introduce parenting fees.'

Back pain - Back to school.

Credit card debt.

'And if I agreed, what sort of means would we be living within?'

"Son, you're all grown up now. You owe me two hundred and fourteen thousand dollars."

'No, it wasn't a horror movie, It was the gas bill'

'Hunting and gathering together saved our marriage, but the cost of daycare is killing us!'

"Working from home he misses his meetings."

"The kids are at that age when they'd really like to know our net worth."
